Student ambassadors

Our Student Ambassadors are living proof that students from our partner schools can and do succeed at UWA.

Our Student Ambassadors are one of Aspire UWA's greatest assets. When their former teachers see them in action, confidently leading learning activities and demonstrating their potential they are both proud and inspired to believe their current students can also succeed at university.

Our Ambassadors are able to closely relate to high school students and share recent experiences of the journey from high school to university. In some cases, the Ambassadors know the high school students, which create an even greater opportunity to forge relationships and openly discuss the challenges and benefits associated with attending university. By providing a role model, Ambassadors help students to see that they too can aspire to tertiary education.

How to become a student ambassador

Have an interest in helping high school students aspire to university.

Be able to contribute to events and activities throughout their year (there is no minimum commitment required).

Working with Aspire as a Student Ambassador has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me at uni. When I led students from my high school for the first time, it was very satisfying to hear their excitement about the idea of coming to uni? these were kids that wouldn't even think for a second about the prospect of tertiary studies. Never underestimate just how much you can impact the lives of students in just 5 hours.Lewis Teixeira, (Hamilton SHS) 4th Year Bachelor of Science (Maths/Physics)
